Grilled honey mustard chicken sandwich Simple sa Grilled honey mustard chicken sandwich 

Simple sandwiches are a go-to of mine during busy weeks, and this grilled honey mustard chicken sandwich is the perfect way to pack in carbs, fiber and protein for a nourishing lunch. 

I used @kensdressing creamy Honey Mustard Dressing for the marinade, which is sweet, tangy, and incredibly versatile— it’s a pantry staple and a delicious way to elevate your proteins as we transition into fall!

Recipe:
Sesame baguette or bread of choice 
2 chicken breast
¼ cup Ken’s Honey Mustard dressing
1 red bell pepper, sliced 
1 zucchini, cut into coins 
Mixed greens
Olive oil
Salt & pepper

1. Add the sliced bell pepper and zucchini to a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Set the vegetables under the broiler until they’re charred, for about 5-6 minutes- keeping a close eye
2. Heat a grill pan with 2 tbsp of olive oil on medium heat 
3. Marinate the chicken breast with the honey mustard dressing, a drizzle of olive oil and salt & pepper. Toss to combine
4. Grill the chicken for about 15 minutes total, flipping every couple of minutes until fully cooked through to 165 F 
5. Assemble your sandwich by toasting your bread and adding the mixed greens, grilled chicken, extra honey mustard dressing and the roasted vegetables
